Hello Everyone, Early this morning someone registered for the forums with the ID faithwealth and began a private messaging Phishing venture towards other KDA forum members. We were alerted of this by e-mail from our forum members and have removed the user from the forums. If you received one of the messages, DO NOT follow the link that they provide you. It is always better to be safe than sorry. Please alert us when you see this happen so we can take prompt action. Thank you all for your understanding.

I just got an email at my main address. Here's the content:fromfavour arisa <favourarisa@att.net>reply-tofavourarisa@hotmail.com

I'm not sure if it's just me receiving these spams... Is it possible to actually view my profile thru the KDA website???

As a followup to my previous post, immediately after receiving the spam, I also received another email telling me that someone was going to be sending me $6000.00 every day until a total of $1.5m was reached. It must be my lucky day!!!!

After I receive this large amount of money, I promise to donate it all to the KDA...

I'm just mentioning this because it's odd that the emails came almost together and obviously have SCAM written all over it!!!

As discussed in yesterday's chat room, (1) if you ever enter your full name in a chat it can be harvested by some 'bot' from the chat archives. (2) Also, if you have entered your story or are a contact, your email address is shown and can also be harvested. (3) And, if you leave your email address in one of the posts in this forum, it can also be harvested by SPAM'ers. Fortunately, this does not happen often and is only the second time something like this has happened (that I know of).

In the new KDA website no email addresses will be shown. We hope to have it ready for early February publishing.

If you do receive SPAM from a harvested email address, block the sender in your email 'black list'.
